More money to get the message out & to fight the continual barrage of lies from the Obama campaign. The super pacs counter the MSM water carriers and the union mouthpieces so this simply helps make it close.

Mr. Nelson,
whenever 5 billionaires own the president and the senate of this country, then we'll see what you'll have to say.
This country has become the one and only where corruption has been legalized and politicians are no longer elected by the people, but by the billionaires that got richer with this last recession... which again... was caused by the same billionaires and Republicans that now want to own this country.

The American dream will die, if Obama is not reelected. That I can guarantee you... we're going towards Jewish fascist state, and is it.

"The American dream" died when Obama was elected last election...and the corruption you lefties always ignore is from this apparently "the most transparent" administration EVER...

Why do you libtards bash what people do with their own money, yet don't say anything with the gov't take taxpayer's money and hands it out to their union buddies and cronies and freeloaders...

Maybe it's because the libtarded brains can't remember anything that goes against their preprogrammed talking points.

The GOP. The best politicians money can buy. Just what this country needed. More money in politics. This clown has pledged 100 Million to Romney. Now what do you get for 100 Million dollars. Is it the same as my $100.00 donation. I think not. What's really sad is that conservatives believe that what's best for billionaires, is best for them. How wrong can they be. Sad that so many rightwing terrorist nutjobs continue to vote against their own best interests and support the GOP Clown Show.

I was watching the news about the big merger between two giant healthcare providers. Some interesting facts came out. There are 9 million double dippers in our society (those who qualify for medicare and medicaid). They are the old and poor. And yet, they consume 300 billion/yr in health care services. Think about it. 9 million consume an average of $33,000/yr in health care. Wow! The poor and old are the new RICH!

It's just that it is a hell of a way to run a railroad. Imagine the costs when the baby boomers start to double dip. Hold onto your wallet bucko! It's really gonna get rough.

Yeah, I thought so. Great earnings this quarter. Of 2147 stocks est/est, the market should be up 13.3% from last quarter. Instead, we're smashing down 1.12% on the S&P. Europe can't find it's footing. China, Japan, Brazil and Canada are folding like a house of cards. It's kind of like a sick dog chasing it's tail. We might see a reversal next week, but this week ... it's looking pretty grim.

Democrats are the creators of corruption and bribery in politics. They are the ones who want government to do more than just enforce criminal law. They want it to meddle in the economy. They want it to pick winners and losers. That, and that alone, is the reason why business interests find that they HAVE to meddle in government. Because if they don't, they'll be bankrupted by competitors who do.

Government meddling in business invites, no, REQUIRES business meddling in government. It's an active WISH of the Democratic Party that it be this way. Of course, they know how unpopular such an arrangement is with the people, which is why they constantly tell us that it's Republicans who live on this stuff. True, Republicans do get funding - any business interest that wants to stop having to play the political game so it can go back to just running its business honestly will donate to Republicans in the hope that they'll end the Democrats' system. Unfortunately, because Democrats are despicable liars, they're able to distort those intentions and mislead voters.

Well JD, the Democrats aren't the flavor of the month but both the Democrats and Republicans are like medieval physicians applying government leeches as the cure to all sickness. If your smart, you'll never tell either one of them that you're feeling poorly.

No private citizen should be allowed to contribute more than $5K to any candidate. Not that the money will go anywhere but down the toilet. That is what an oligarchy is. When politicians have to abide by the rules of those donors who give them the most cash the cause of the betterment of the state and all people is lost. Not saying Obama isn't guilty of this as well, both parties need to outlaw Superpacs which are a way of getting around the old rules that nobody seems to think are important to follow anymore. There is nothing written about this in the Constitution because it wasn't an issue during those times but if the founding fathers saw what was going in with this election I can guarantee there would be an amendment against these types of contributions.
